Most science fiction novels call it "Luna", which is Latin for "Moon", and the proper name for it. Another name for the Moon is "Selene", which I think was Greek for "Moon".

In olden times, you didn't need a name for something if there was only one. Pre-telescope, there was only one Moon; there was no way to see any others

Earth's moon is called "the Moon". When there is only one of something, you don't need a specific name for it. It wasn't until Galileo turned his new telescope toward Jupiter that anyone knew that there might be others.

Our moons name is Kingu. It was a satellite from another planetary system the intruded into our solar system and there was a collision with a planetary object and Tiamat (Now call Earth). Kingu was trapped in an orbit around Earth (Tiamat). This collision also formed the asteroid belt and plate tectonics here on earth. The intruder planetary system is still in orbit around our sun to this day. [See planet x and IRIS telescope for more details] also Binary star system.
